We have studied lead-based gapless semiconductors, $PbPdO_2$, which is very sensitive to external parameters such as temperature, pressure, electric field, etc[1]. We have fabricated pure $PbPdO_2$, Co- and Mn-doped $PbPdO_2$ thin films using the pulsed laser deposition. Because of the volatile element of Pb, it is very difficult to grow the films. Note that in case of $MgB_2$, Mg is also volatile element. So in order to enhance the quality of $MgB_2$, some experiments are carried out in annealing with Mg-rich atmosphere [2]. This annealing process with volatile element plays an important role in making smooth surface. Thus, we applied such process to our studies of $PbPdO_2$ thin films. As a result, we found the optimal condition of ex-situ annealing temperature ${\sim}650^{\circ}C$ and time ~12 hrs. The ex-situ annealing brought the extreme change of surface morphology of thin films. After ex-situ annealing with PbO-rich atmosphere, the grain size of thin film was almost 100 times enlarged for all the thin films and also the PbO impurity phase was smeared out. And from X-ray diffraction measurements, we determined highly crystallized phases after annealing. So, we measured electrical and magnetic properties. Because of reduced grain boundary, the resistivity of ex-situ annealed samples changed smaller than no ex-situ sample. And the carrier densities of thin films were decreased with ex-situ annealing time. In this case, oxygen vacancies were removed by ex-situ annealing. Furthermore, we will discuss the transport and magnetic properties in pure $PbPdO_2$, Co- and Mn-doped $PbPdO_2$ thin films in detail.

MI(Magneto-Impedance) sensor which is made by thin films has significantly high detecting sensitivity in weak magnetic field. It also has a merit to be able to build in low power system. Its structure is simple, which makes it easier to prepare a miniature. In this study, its magnetic permeability and anisotropy field(H$\sub$k/) as a function of a thickness of sputtered amorphous CoZrNb thin film with high saturation magnetostriction and excellent soft magnetic property are investigated. In order to make a uniaxial anisotropy, thin film was subjected to post annealing with a static magnetic field with 1KOe intensity at 250, 300, and 320$^{\circ}C$ for 2 hour. Anisotropy field(H$\sub$k/)of thin film is measured by using MH loop tracer. Its magnetic permeability of thin film is measured over the frequency range from 1 MHz to 750MHz. It has shown that the magnetic permeability of amorphous CoZrNb thin film is decreased due to the skin effect with increasing a thickness of CoZrNb thin film, and hence its driving frequency is lowered.

MI(Magneto-Impedance) sensor which is made by thin films has significantly high detecting sensitivity in weak magnetic field. It also has a merit to be able to build in the low power system. Its structure is simple, which makes it easier to prepare a miniature. In this study, its magnetic permeability and anisotropy field$(H_k)$ as a function of a thickness of sputtered amorphous CoZrNb films with zero-magnetostriction and excellent soft magnetic property are investigated. In order to make a uniaxial anisotropy, film was subjected to the post annealing in a static magnetic field with 1KOe intensity at 250, 300, and $320^{\circ}C}$ respectively for 2 hours. Anisotropy field$(H_k)$ of film is measured by using a MH loop tracer. Its magnetic permeability of a film is measured over the frequency range from 1 MHz to 750MHz. It has shown that the magnetic permeability of amorphous CoZrNb film is decreased due to the skin effect with increasing a thickness of the CoZrNb film, and hence its driving frequency is lowered. And, it was examined on the permeability and impedance to fabricate the MI sensor which acts at a low frequency by thickening a CoZrNb film relatively.

To utilize FeCoSiB amorphous films for magnetoelastic sensors, the temperature dependency of magnetization (M-T curve) and the magnetization properties of the amorphous films were investigated in this study. As the amount of cobalt In the films increased, the Curie temperature decreased but the crystallization temperature increased. In addition to this, the crystallization temperature was lower than the Curie temperature in the film containing 20 at% cobalt. The optimized annealing condition was set up by analyzing the H-T curve. And then, the amorphous film that has excellent magnetic properties and uni-axal anisotropy could be prepared for construction of the magnetoelastic sensor devices. The coercive force of the film was below 0.5 Oe and the anisotripic field was about 5 Oe.

RF-마그네트론 스퍼터법으로 제조된 $400\;{\AA}$의 $Ni_{81}Fe_{19}$ 박막을 자장중에서 열처리할 때 박막의 미세구조 및 표면형상의 변화에 따른 전자기적 특성을 조사하였다. 보자력은 열처리 온가 $300^{\circ}C$까지 증가함에 따라 박막내부 잔류응력의 감소 및 재결정에 의해 감소하였고, $400^{\circ}C$에서는 결정립성장 및 표면조도의 증가에 의해 증가에 의해 증가하였다. $4{\pi}M_{s}$는 열처리온도에 따라 큰 변화를 보이지 않고, 9.2 kG 수준의 거의 일정한 값을 보였다. 열처리 온도가 증가 함에 따라 전기비저항은 $37\;{\mu}{\Omega}cm$에서 $24\;{\mu}{\Omega}cm$로 감소하였으며, 자기저항값은 $0.6\;{\mu}{\Omega}cm$ 수준으로 거의 일정한 값을 보였고, 자기저항비 1.5 %에서 3.1 %로 증가 하였다. 따라서 자기저항비의 증가는 주로 전기비저항의 감소에 기인한 것으로 나타났다. 이상에서 박막을 실제적인 자기저항 헤드에 응용을 고려시, 최적 열처리조건은 400 Oe의 일방향 자장중 $300^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 열처리할 때로 나타났다.

Laser Molecular-Beam Epitaxy 방법을 사용하여 $La_{0.35}Pr_{0.35}Ca_{0.3}MnO_3$(LPCMO)/$LaAlO_3$(LAO) 초격자를 성공적으로 증착하였으며 이의 열처리 전후 결정학적, 자기적 특성을 LPCMO 단층박막, 그리고 LPCMO/$SrTiO_3$(STO) 초격자와 비교 분석하였다. LPCMO 단층박막, 그리고 LPCMO/STO 초격자 단층박막의 경우, 표면이 열처리 전후 모두 거친 양상을 보인 것과는 달리 LPCMO/LAO 초격자 박막은 열처리 전후 모두 상대적으로 매우 매끈하였다. 열처리 후 단층박막, 초격자 박막 시료 모두 강자성 특성이 향상되었으며 특히 초격자의 경우에는 이러한 현상이 두드러졌다. 열처리 후에 보자력과 포화자기장이 감소하는 LPCMO 단층박막과는 달리 LPCMO/LAO 초격자의 경우, 열처리 후에도 보자력은 열처리 전과 같은 값을 보였으며 단층박막과는 반대로 포화자기장은 오히려 증가하였다. 이러한 자기적 특성은 절연체 사이에 강자성체가 끼여 있는 초격자라는 결정구조에서 기인하는 것으로 이해된다.

In this research, magnetoresistance (MR) ratio (MR), resistivity, and exchange coupling field $(H_{ex})$ behaviors for sputter deposited spin valves with FeMn antiferromagnetic layer have been extensively investigated by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) as well as conventional annealing (CA) method. 10 s of RTA revealed that interdiffusion was not significant up to $325^{\circ}C$ at the interfaces between the layers when the RTA time was short. The MR of FeMn spin valves were reduced when the spin valves were exposed to temperature of $250^{\circ}C$, even for a short time period of 10 s prior to CA. $H_{ex}$ was maintained up to $325^{\circ}C$ of CA when the specimen was subjected to 10 s of RTA at $200^{\circ}C$ prior to CA, which is $25^{\circ}C$ higher than the result obtained from the CA without prior RTA. Therefore, the stability of $H_{ex}$ could be enhanced by a prior RTA before performing CA up to annealing temperature of $325^{\circ}C$. MR and sensitivity of the specimens annealed without magnetic field up to $275^{\circ}C$ were recovered to the values prior to CA, but $H_{ex}$ was not recovered. This means that reduced MR sensitivity and MR during the device fabrication can be recovered by a field RTA.

Co계 비정질 강자성 합금을 1 Oe 이하의 작은 자장 중에서 큐리 온도 이하로 열처리하면 재현성 있는 비대칭 자기이력곡선이 얻을 수 있다는 사실이 보고된 바 있다. 열처 리시 자장의 방향을 (+)라고 하면 (+)에서 (-)에로의 자화반전은 단 한 번의 비가역적 인 Barkhausen jump에 의해서 이루어지며, (-)에서 (+)로의 자화반전은 완만하고 가역 적이다. 이때 이력곡선의 기울기는 시료의 반자장에 의해 결정된다. 이러한 현상을 비 대칭 자화반전이라 한다. 이력곡선의 모양과 재현성은 열처리시 가하는 자장의 크기, 열처리 온도와 시간, 열처리 분위기 등 열처리 조건과 합금의 조성에 따라 크게 바뀐다. 본 연구는 영자왜 조성인 (Fe/sub 0.06/Co/sub 0.94/)/sub 75/Si/sub 10/B/sub 15/ 비 정질 자성 합금을 100 mOe의 자장하에서 열처리할 때 열처리 온도와 시간이 비대칭 자 화반전에 미치는 영향에 대한 것이다. 자화 반전 효과는 비교적 높은 온도에서 짧은 시간에 생성되나 열처리 시간이 길어질수록 안정화된다.

We investigate the effect of thermal annealing on $MgB_2$ thin films with thicknesses of 400 and 800 nm, irradiated by 350 keV C-ions with a dose of $1{\times}10^{15}atoms/cm^2$. Irradiation by low-energy C-ions produces atomic lattice displacement in $MgB_2$ thin films, improving magnetic field performance of critical current density ($J_c$) while reducing the superconducting transition temperature ($T_c$). Interestingly, the lattice displacement and the $T_c$ are gradually restored to the original values with increasing thermal annealing temperature. In addition, the magnetic field dependence of $J_c$ also returns to that of the pristine state together with the restoration of $T_c$. Because $J_c$(H) is sensitive to the type and density of the disorder, i.e. vortex pinning, the recovery of $J_c$(H) in irradiated $MgB_2$ thin films by thermal annealing indicates that low-energy C-ion irradiation on $MgB_2$ thin films primarily causes lattice displacement. These results provide new insights into the application of low-energy irradiation in strategically engineering critical properties of superconductors.

The magnetic properties of heat treated O-series high temperature superconducting (HTS) GdBCO coated conductor (CC) tapes which were formed of Ag/GdBCO/Buffer-layers/Stainless Steel (SS), were investigated by employing a Quantum Design PPMS-14. Using a modified Bean model, the critical current density J_c values have been estimated from the 𝚫m_irr(H) data, which are obtained by measuring the magnetic moment m(H) loops. For a range of intermediate fields, which are interacting or collective flux pinning area, the magnetic flux behaviors were investigated from the relationship J_c ∝ H^-β. In addition, the changes of irreversibility magnetic field H_irr line of heat-treated O-series HTS GdBCO CC tapes were analyzed, according as the annealing temperature under oxygen flowing increases. Both weak and strong break-downs were found by examining the changes of irreversibility magnetic field H_irr lines.
